[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
Assuming the rom devs are like ones on the evo, any rom you flash shouldn't tell you there is a new rom to flash. You will have to wait for your favorite rom dev to release a new version of their rom.

if your like me, and still install more stuff in the bloatfree roms, you can then do a backup with Titanium Backup and then when you flash the updated rom, restore your apps, go into filters on Titanium and tell it to show apps not backed up, and remove all the stuff you didn't want again.

I uninstall so much "crap" on the roms even after the devs have removed a bunch of crap. I don't want the IM programs, the calander programs, a huge amount of widgets and wallpapers and different stuff that still comes on the rom, so I just uninstall that stuff too. Just be careful about doing that, and backup first with Clockwork, as you can bork your whole system pretty easily.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDawg68:
Just to be clear - Clockwork is a system image backup program I use so that if new ROM or change to ROM doesn't work I can go back to last known working iamge? And Titanium is app backup only?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Gilgamesh-:
If you've removed the bloat then you wont be able to do the OTAs.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
yeah clockwork allows you to flash new roms and various other .zip files, backup and restore current roms exactly as they were. When we are able to, you will be able to flash kernals with it as well.

Titanium allows you to backup apps, freeze apps, uninstall apps.

Rom Manger is your best friend. While there are no roms to download in rom manager yet, here's a little what is http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/32771-faq-what-rom-manager-how-do-i-use.html

To install a new rom, just download the one you want via your pc, plug in your phone and drop the downloaded rom onto the root of your sdcard. Then unplug your phone and open rom manager and select install from sdcard. choose wipe data and backup current rom. Always make a backup with rom manager before installing a new rom in case something goes wrong. This way you can restore. Also, use titanium backup to backup and restore all your apps.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pithism:
So if i have verizons insurance i can return the phone even if its rooted?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pithism:
and does this only mean manufacturers warranty is voided, or just this mean verizons extended warranty to.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
that is always iffy. Depends on the person that looks at your phone. If they don't check for S-off and see a crazy rom on their, different splash screen, etc. then you might get lucky.

If your phone turns on, best thing to do is unroot, which is really simple, and then go about returning, exchanging, what have you.

If verizon is like sprint, they can put a block on your phone from being fixed if they see it is rooted, in their system, and then you are out of luck period.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pithism:
Is the only way to check for root by opening up the cwr or open hboot and looking at those screens? or can they check some other way?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pithism:
and another question, is the only way to put roms on by cwr or do i have to do adb
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXMike:
Clockwork is the preferred method of flashing new roms.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltwalrus:
I'm going to necro this thread because some helpful advice has been given, and I hope that trend continues.

Every guide or post I've seen so far says "back up first," and that is always good advice, no matter what you're doing. But that leaves us in a chicken and egg situation. In order to use Ti Backup, you have to be root... but in order to root, I should back my apps up with Ti Backup. So does that mean that for the initial root operation, I'm S.O.L. in terms of an easy restore of all my apps? Manually downloading them again from Market/Amazon, that is? Or am I missing something? Won't I have to fully wipe everything to root?

(please tell me I'm missing something, I won't be offended)

I rooted and flashed CM7 on my Nook Color a dozen times, so I am comfortable with the process, but I never used Ti Backup because... well, I didn't care. Looking through http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996616, is there a point in there where I can Ti Backup all my apps before I wipe the device and have to do it all by hand?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pman555:
To my knowledge, in order to use titanium backup, you need to be rooted.

However, there is a program called Mybackup Pro that can back up your apps along with SMS, MMS, android home, etc. all before being rooted. However, it probably wont backup your app data...your progress in a game, for instance.

Also, just in case it doesnt work, you can always make a list of the apps you'll want again and redownload them. Amazon apps should be pretty easy to get back since they should have a record of what you DLed.

Good luck!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decaturbob:
dont worrry about the warranty. As for rooting, follow the steps, there are videos to watch and you will not have any problems. Follow the steps. I am 4 weeks into owning a tbolt and being familiar with android and experienced no problems whatsoever. Running BAMF and looking to load up more ROMS. Got veiwsonic gtab and rooted that and loaded new ROM. Tethered tbolt to the gtab and my laptop with barnacle. Very simple. I'm connected to the internet as I type in the hills of tennessee with barbacle

Download the zip file to the custom screen animation you want to use to your memory card. Boot up into clockwork recovery. Go to install from sdcard then choose files from sdcard. Navigate to the file u want to use then install it. The next time you boot the phone normally it should show you your new screen animation. Atleast that's how I do it with my rooted epic 4g using clockwork recovery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sahilg009:
sorry but no clockwork recovery is made for my device i installed it once an resulted i hard brick:mad:.Had to go to samsung service center and they replaced the motherboard cause it was in warranty.I will never try that method again
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dark3n:
Use adb push or a file explorer with root to place the bootanimation.zip (from my attachment) in the folder "/system/media" it is the animation from your first youtube link.

If it says something like cannot write, read only permission, you have to type this into a console on the phone or in the adb shell first

"mount -w -o remount /system /system\n"

The boot animation is safe, it either shows, or it doesn't.

I'm sorry, but there is no such ROM available for your android at the moment.

If this is sufficient for your bounty, use my donate button.

Greetings dark3n
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] soulslay3r:
Yea that happened to me the first time I tried. I had to use odin with a prerooted rom for my phone. You should check out to c if its possible to use odin on ur phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] droiduser145:
there's actually an app to change the boot screen mines currently beavis and butthead lol give me a few and ill see what app it was

Sent from my Aria 2.3.2 OS
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sahilg009:
so basically i just nned to move the zip(bootanimation.zip) direct to my /system/media no need to extract it

and it can never brick my mobile

thanx
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dark3n:
Yes dont extract just copy it there.

Either your phone supports this and shows the new animation.

If it doesn't support it nothing happens and you see the old animation.

Nothing can really happen. The old animation is still there.

If it is supported your phone will look at that directory and say ahhh a bootanimation.zip lets use that instead of the default one...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jokersall:
Could I get that boot animation file off you. I tried the boot animation changer app. Says downloaded and installed but alas I get nothing.

[General Questions and Answers] fatc2k3:
I have tried to look through the numerous threads but still dont seem to beable to find the answer to my question, I bought a x10 mini pro from someone and it has cyanogenmod 7 v005 on it but i want to revert it back to stock.As i bought this with cyanogenmod already on it i dont have the stock rom. I have checked and it does have xrecovery installed so can i just find a stock rom and install it using xrecovery or do i need another custom rom. If anyone can point me to the right thread (i know there prob is one and ive missed it) or to the stock rom? It would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
[General Questions and Answers] fatc2k3:
anyone able to help??
[General Questions and Answers] fatc2k3:
so am i stuck on this custom rom?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
if you find a stock rom that is in a format that the recovery mode can use, yes.

if not you will probably have to use a flash program like odin and flash the stock rom that way.
[General Questions and Answers] fatc2k3:
argggh i got impatient waiting for a response and read elsewhere using pc companion to restore would work and now stuck in SE logo loop, is it now bricked? or is there a solution ???
[General Questions and Answers] fatc2k3:
thanks for that odin :) never heard of it b4 but it worked a charm :)

big thanks ....
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Sure thing, always happy to help :).

If you still have download mode or something similar it is not fully bricked.

On the sgs you can even make a custom usb plug to get it into flash mode when your download mode is broken, it just takes more expertise to get it working again the more you brick it ;).
[General Questions and Answers] no_johnr:
**SOLVED**

I did a repair in PC Companion, and that gave me stock ROM - but I didn't get the correct hardwarekeyboard...

And I lost Root I guess, so I can't replace/change the keyprint.xml file.

xRecovery seems to be gone, but what about JIT(what is that?)?

I want to be all stock due to warranty.

Oh, and how should I format my sd card?! I have an ext3 and a fat32 partition now, to support apps2sd, but dont want that. should i just format whole card to fat32?
[General Questions and Answers] -SourceCode-:
Not sure about the SD card. However I would first backup any data/files on the SD card before trying anything.

Regarding JIT, it basically boots the performance of your phone, its related to Android's software compiler.

I think Android versions 2.2 & above already have JIT enabled, however to have this on version 2.1 you may need to root the device.

Pretty much what the subject line says. The digitizer\pointer become erratic, almost to the point of being unusuable, while using the high output B&N charger that comes with it.

Hi, I have an issue with the Medscape app. I wasn't able to update the library so I uninstalled the app and manually deleted the library files from me Medscape folder, later I learned that the update problem was because of the adblock app. I solved that and tried to reinstall Medscape, so far so good. When I try to re install the library files, the app tells me theres no update available (???) and it shows the current files as if they are installed, but the folder is still deleted and when I try to look up something in the database, nothing comes up.

Is there a way to wipe completely the Medscape db registry so I can do clean install?

Thanks a lot

Hello everyone. I cannot figure out how to add my second email to my droid. I have it rooted with the liberty 1.5 rom and figured out how to do the hotmail but my other pop3 I cannot figure out.

Here is the instructions from the website.

PC Client Setup Information:

POP3 (inbound mail) Server: mail.ar15.com

SMTP (outbound mail) Server: mail.ar15.com

- User name and password are case sensitive.

- Your password must be 4-16 characters long.(alpha-numeric)

- For security, we require authentication for outbound (SMTP) mail. check "MY SERVER REQUIRES AUTHENTICATION" in your mail client under server settings.

- Please set the email check timer to be 10 minutes or more.

I enter in all of my info but cannot find any part where It asks for the SMTP. Under security type I see

none

SSL

SSL (accept all certs)

TLS

TLS (accept all certs)

I can get passed the ingoing email screen but when it comes to the outgoing email screen I get this message: Unable to open connection to server

Any help? I had it set up before I rooted but not cannot get it dialed in.

Thanks
[Droid X General] crazyjoejoe:

Please help as this is super important I get it working..

Hi I want to sim unlock my hd2, and then install Nandroid operating system onto it. Will this effect the sim unlock? , was talking to a man in a shop and he said it might. Its one I have for sale and someone wants this doing to it, Its locked to T mobile uk at the moment.

p.s did do a quick search but am at work so shouldnt be on her :p

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] motorboy-johnny:
Short answer is NO.

If you want to sim unlock your device you need to contact your provider.

Go to a store where they can unlock it for you or buy a code on the internet.

Good Luck

Hi, and if i will re-flash a WM ROM???

the unlock will be?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Major_Sarcasm:
Let's say this once, for the benefit of anyone else who reads this thread:

SIM UNLOCKING YOUR HD2 IS UNAFFECTED BY ROM CHANGES.

Once you SIM unlock the device, regardless of operating system currently installed, it will stay SIM unlocked even through ROM changes, including WP7/Android/WM6.5/etc/etc.
